Jacob Silver

Jacob Silver graduated with a Bachelor of Music from The Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. He then went on to get his Masters of Music at Manhattan School of Music.

Jacob has 15 years of experience and is an incredibly in demand teacher. Known for breaking down the fundamentals of piano technique for all ages and styles. He gives students the tools to solve playing problems on their own and develop a fluid piano technique. 

He specializes in teaching and applying the Taubman approach. A revolutionary piano technique developed by Dorthy Taubman and continued on by the Golandsky Institute. The technique teaches pianists how to play any repertoire, no matter how difficult, with ease and utmost musicality. It focuses on a piano technique free of pain, stress, or fatigue.

Jacob discovered the Taubman approach after being injured during his masters program. The Taubman approach allowed him to fully recover and play even better than he had before. 60% of musicians will develop a disability over the course of their lifetime. Jacob recovered and is driven by making sure every student he works with has the tools to prevent playing injury. He also works with pianists who are currently injured to help them retrain and heal.

His performance career has taken him around the globe. Touring with Jazz groups in Japan and Singapore. As a composer, his works have been featured by the American Studio Orchestra in Baltimore, MD.
